i7 3930K 86.1 FPS

Win7 / 64 bit  16GB memory  GT 440 2GB GPU
Intel I7 3930K 6-core overclocked to 4.4 GHz
FPS:  86.1 with KeyShot ver 3.1.48

Puget Systems Genesis I with Intel i7 3930K Sandy Bridge single CPU (six-core, 12-thread) overclocked to 4.4 GHz.

My old system was an Intel Core 2 Q9550 CPU  2.8 GHz, Win 7 32 bit, and the KeyShot benchmark was 33 FPS under KeyShot ver2. 
With KeyShot ver 3 it dropped to 24 FPS.  Not sure if that same delta applies between ver 2 and 3 using 6 cores.

For an animation comparison, I took my gem stone turntable scene which is a 360 degree turntable rotation (840 rendered frames) lasting 28 seconds:
With the HP dual core, KeyShot ver 3:  28 sec @ 30fps = 840 frames x 8 minutes per render = 6720 minutes = 112 hours = 4.7 days.
With the i7 3930K 6 core, KeyShot ver 3.1.48:  28 sec @ 30fps = 840 frames x 2.2 minutes per render = 1848 minutes = 31 hours = 1.3 days.

So, the i7 3930k 6-core 4.4 GHz with KeyShot v 3.1.48 is 3.6 times faster than my old PC in this animation test.
